One last question, how do you know it was waves slapping against the
swim
platform (waves travelling against the wind) and not just the boat
slightly
rocking and creating slapping noise due to poor aft end design?


Because another boat was with us and our boat was moving less. Our
dinghy was moving more. A Catalina with a swim platform also "slaps."
As does my friends Tayana 48 at times.
Sorry, you failed again!

We discussed this issue before and
bubbles said it would never be a problem, everyone loves the sound of
waves gently lapping the hull....right?


We've anchored a number of times and this was the only time the
slapping sound presented itself enough to be noticed. Oddly, it was on
one of the calmest evenings. Slight breeze on the bow and little waves
coming at us from dead astern.
Joe, can you find us all the post where I said it would "never be a
problem?"
I didn't think so.

I think you are correct Gilly, We discussed this issue

Yulp, I remember him saying that.

Nothing of the sort. I asked a simple question which you failed to answer.

The slap is not against the swim platform, it is against the overhang of the
hull. It is designed in, one of the tradeoffs for a fast hull design. Name
one fast hull that does not have this problem.

You need this:

It will keep you slap-happy.

I'd love to help you with the small cockpit but I haven't found a company
that makes cockpit enlargers yet.

That aft cabin will make a good storage locker.

Yulp, I remember him saying that.

I think it was right after he delcared he would kill anyone caught
drinking aboard his vessel. How he was a former bounces and understands
the extreme danger involved in drinking and sailing. No excuses, no
way, iron clad rule he said, he did.

"One ship drives east, and another west
With the self-same winds that blow;
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
That decides the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
As they voyage along through life;
'Tis the will of the soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife."

Something tells me you can't find that post either.
Oops.

onboard is a total loser.

Indeed you are correct. "total Loser" is what he called anyone who
drinks on a boat. I hope he has re-thought the lame excuse for his
lilly liver.

That was about the time he said his roomy aft cabin would not slam like
a base drum at a Led Zepplin concert with the slightest waves off that
sugar scoop stern.

So will being tired.
Being distracted can be a lot worst than a couple of drinks. MODERATE
Nutsy. I alway tried to seriously examine my own condition


After some years as a bouncer, I've probably heard every excuse there
is to drink and operate a car, boat and even a motorcycle. The most
common is the "I've been doing it for XX amount of years and I've been
fine."
Well, that's great. But too many people haven't been fine and have hurt
themselves and others. The bottom line is that no one drinks on my boat
while underway. As you've seen from the many pics, no one has had a
problem with this. Go sailing, clear your head and the bloodstream
while you're at it.
Now that Thomas is aboard if I see anyone drinking while piloting a
boat, I will report them without hesitation. Drinking and operating ANY
kind of vehicle is both childish and foolish. It's also selfish.
I did my fair share of drinking, Thom. Then I grew up and realized even
moderate drinking is better left behind. I haven't regretted that
decision for a moment. It's very depressing to find a person drinks,
smokes or voted for Bush these days.
